Can I use canned pumpkin for this recipe?

Oh yes, you absolutely can! Just make sure it's 100% pure pumpkin puree – the kind that’s just pumpkin, no added spices or sugars. That "pumpkin pie filling" stuff? Nope, it's a big no-no for pups because of the sweeteners and spices. So, double-check that can before you mix!

How to adjust portion sizes for different small dogs?

This is super important! Small dogs come in all shapes and sizes, and their energy needs can really vary. What works for my little Pip might be too much or too little for your dog. Generally, you want to start with a small spoonful or two and see how your dog handles it. Their age, activity level, and weight all play a part. Honestly, the best advice is to chat with your vet about the perfect portion size for your specific furry friend.

Is this recipe safe for dogs with sensitive stomachs?

Generally, yes! Both plain pumpkin and turkey are usually really easy for dogs to digest, which is why this Pumpkin & Turkey Small Dog Recipe is so great. Pumpkin, especially, can be a lifesaver for digestion. But you know your dog best! Keep an eye out for any changes in their tummy after trying it. If you notice anything unusual, it's always best to check in with your vet.
